Owatonna RV Services

Owatonna RV Services is a repair shop based in Owatonna, Minnesota. You bring the RV to them. They say plainly, "All the work we do is done on site in our shop; we do not do service calls," so this is not an option for a rig broken down at a campground, but it is a solid choice if you can tow or drive in.

They work on motorhomes, fifth wheels and travel trailers, and say "we can handle most motorhomes, 5th wheels, and travel trailers, and welcome insurance work." They do not service motorhome engines, chassis or generators, and do not install fifth wheel hitches, so check that your job fits before you make the trip. They draw from a wide service area, including Owatonna, Faribault, Waseca, Northfield, New Prague, Janesville, Albert Lea, Austin, Rochester, Cannon Falls, Kenyon, Ellendale, Clarks Grove, Blooming Prairie, Mason City and Clear Lake.

No hourly rate or diagnostic fee is published, so ask about cost when you call to schedule. Summer hours run Monday through Thursday 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, Friday 8:30 am to 5 pm, and Saturday 8:30 am to 12 pm, closed Sunday.

Jeff and Julie Wanous have owned and run the shop since 1986, with Jeff servicing RVs since the 1970s. Their son Kent became a full-time technician in 2018 and a part-owner in 2025, so this is a family operation with decades behind it. Google rates them 4.9 stars from 94 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner near southeastern Minnesota or northeastern Iowa who can bring the RV in, especially for insurance work, winterizing or a pre-trip check, and who wants a shop with a long track record rather than a mobile fix at the campsite.
